In our old van we used two single mattresses as we found the cushins really uncomfortable.Not sure what the cushions are like on our new bed gonna try it out in early march for a night.
Anyone else use a mattress or anything else or do you find the cushions ok.
I took the seat cushons out of our crusader twin axle at the back and put some plywood across the gap and then bought a three quarter matress and its so comfy to sleep on . We don't need all the space since the kids left home so its a fixed bed now
Bought on a recommendation from a thread on this site . They sell on ebay & call themselves cushy numbers . We paid £25 (inc postage) for ours but noticed they appear to only sell 2" minimum thickness now . Although more comfortable the 2" wont roll up as compact as the 1" ,so storage when not in use may be a problem . We stand ours up in the shower tray .
Thanks for the replies. Off to Bristol this weekend for a few days & notice they have a shop/factory at Weston & Bristol, so may call in and take a look.
Hi Guys, Well I called in at Weston S M to look at the memory foam mattress topper, as mentioned in my previous posting. Took some time to locate them after 3 phone calls. They are really geared for online dealing and their warehouse premises doesn't even have a sign to say who they are! That said the 2 guys busy packing orders were most helpful and gave me all the info I asked for. The bottom line is I bought the 5cm double size topper for our fixed bed which is too firm for our liking. Also purchased 2 of the special shaped pillows as a set. Fitted into the van & slept 2 nights with them already. Very comfortable, almost the best nights sleep I've had for some time and can definitely recommend them to anyone with sleeping difficulties. Hope this report helps. Happy camping.
Ps It was bloody cold these past few days, but cosy in the van once it had warmed up with the blown air heating whacking out full pelt. I love the warmth - roll on summer!
We have a fixed bed and it is comfortable .We used to have a mattress topper but now we use a duvet on top of the mattress and a duvet on top of us [very cosy ]The duvet on the mattress was bought from Safeway for £5-99 its so good we even use this system at home Coljac
